Raz brother , me not experienced as you are but .... i dont really see any harm in being the statistical scientist as far as it is coupled with reasonable vocab,not hi-fi / but OK ( guzaray like) grammer, and if facts and figures are not at the cost of quality,... then, what i think is that you not only could pass it but manage to fetch ..above ,say, 55 or some thing around the said figure..

if it is,say they ask about present scenerio, then making the essay saturated with figures is imperative, kya khyal hai brother
